Biden Administration Urged To Protect "Documented Dreamers" From Deportation

Congresswoman Deborah Ross and Indian American Congressman Dr Ami Bera led the group of 36 of their Congressional colleagues in the House of Representatives in sending a letter to Department of Homeland Security in this regard.

A group of influential US lawmakers on Friday urged the Biden administration to take all necessary steps to prevent the deportation of ''documented dreamers''. They are estimated to number around 200,000, a significant majority of whom are kids of H-1B visa holding Indian professionals who are on the Green Card waiting list, that as of now is expected to last for several decades. Congresswoman Deborah Ross and Indian American Congressman Dr Ami Bera led the group of 36 of their Congressional colleagues in the House of Representatives in sending a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in this regard. The letter urges the DHS to strengthen protection for children and young adults who have grown up in the United States as dependents of long-term work visa holders -- a group known as the documented dreamers.
